they view everyone around them as competition
I agree with everything except that part.
They view their fellow billionaires as competition. But the rest of us, they view as a generic metric called labour. We’re not competition to them, we’re a resource that is to be used, managed and minimized in order to increase their own wealth.

How often do you think billionaires interact with an average American who isn’t an employee?
Like. They probably don’t even interact with employees of companies, they have personal shoppers and assistants who actually as a buffer.
You think Warren Buffet or Elmo talk to random ass people at Starbucks?
Their never within arms reach of a normal.person.
We’re not labor to them, we’re not a resource, we’re an abject concept they literally just don’t think about. We don’t exist to them as individuals.
